Occupy Oakland Video: Protester shot with rubber bullet for filming cops

The video of an Occupy Oakland protester shot by police has been made available, showing perhaps the most outrageous act of overzealous law enforcement action in the weeks since the movement began.
An unnamed protester rallying in Oakland, California last week during the city's General Strike managed to be rolling film as he approached a gauntlet of riot gear-clad police officers lined across a city street. Filming their motionless blockage of the road, the videographer asks the cops, "Is this okay?" several times as he paces from one side of the road to the other, camera in hand.
The narrator of the footage appears peaceful and calm as he walks around 20 feet away from the police during the course of the 40 second clip in which he at no point attempts to provoke the officers. The footage is cut short, however, after a burst of light is seen exploding from the array of law enforcement followed immediately by the cameraman falling to the ground.
The exact projectile fired by the cops has not been identified, though the man was believed to be hit by either a beanbag or a non-lethal rubber bullet round.

Butters! How many times do I have to tell you? YOU DON'T SHOOT A GUY IN THE DICK!

It looks like it's getting more violent. I guess police acts as usual.
but protesters are now use bottles against police.
tomorrow it will be a Molotov cocktail. Police should not make it worse by shooting at people for just filming.

wow, there are more people getting out the streets.
careful guys. Police generally are boneheads. They handout with criminals and dont get much education.
the boneheads police will start killing people (they don't know better). maybe at the begging it will be just an accident. and there will be a revolution.
